Hi everyone,
I've recently created a new dashboard for a wall-mounted tablet, but I’m facing two strange issues that I didn't encounter with my previous dashboard.
My Dashboards:
Dashboard #1:
Based on a grid layout (layout-card)
Uses mostly custom button cards
✅ Works flawlessly—no issues at all
Dashboard #2:
Based on sections
Uses mostly custom button cards (different from those in Dashboard #1)
Issues with Dashboard #2:
Random refresh problem → The dashboard refreshes unexpectedly.
"Can't load after edit" problem → After making edits (whether through the UI or RAW YAML), the dashboard refuses to reload.
If I try to refresh, I get a blank page that loads indefinitely.
Opening another Home Assistant tab in the same browser results in the same issue.
However, I can access Home Assistant from a different browser or in private mode, even when the other browser remains stuck.
What I’ve Tried So Far:
- Clearing cache → No effect.
- Creating a third dashboard using the same cards as Dashboard #2 → Same issues persist.
- Deleting all cards from Dashboard #2 → "Can't load after edit" problem disappears (not sure about the random refresh issue).
- Adding cards back one by one →No issues for the first 8–10 cards. After adding one more card, the issue returns. Removing that card doesn’t fix it—the issue remains.
My Questions:
- Are these two issues related?
- The only major difference between the working and non-working dashboards is that the problematic ones use sections. Could that be causing the issue?
I’ve tried to explain everything as clearly as possible, but let me know if you need more details.
Thanks!
